The other day, I noticed that  the teakettle that we keep on our stove  was a few inches closer to the front, instead of sitting on the back burner.

Without giving it any thought, I moved it back to where I was used to seeing it.

The next day, there it was again, between this burners.

Had to be something my husband was doing.What could he be up to?

This old gas cooktop has pilot lights between both sets of front and back burners, and Kelly was experimenting with keeping the kettle over a pilot light.

He’s found that it reduced the time to make a pot of tea and (more important to him) it saves some energy.
